  • Loving Others Isn't Always Easy
    Feb 16 2026

    Loving others can be hard — especially when they hurt us or are hard to understand. In this episode, we take a fresh look at 1 Corinthians 13 and discover what love really looks like in the life of the church and in everyday relationships.

    We explore Paul’s metaphor of the body (1 Corinthians 12) and unpack the surprising way Jesus loved Judas — faithfully, even knowing he would betray Him. This episode shows that love isn’t just sentiment or emotion; it’s patient, kind, selfless, and guided by Christ.

    Tune in for a practical, devotional reminder that love governs our actions, shapes our relationships, and sets the standard for how we live as believers.

  • Introduction to Before We Speak
    Jan 10 2026

    In this opening episode, Tracey introduces Before We Speak, a podcast dedicated to slowing down, listening well, and responding with grace. She reflects on how many of our hardest conflicts stem not from cruelty, but from speed—and how easily we speak without really hearing one another. Centered on James 1:19, this episode explores the discipline of listening and why it’s essential for faithful communication. Tracey also shares what you can expect from future episodes: short devotional reflections rooted in Scripture, honest conversations about boundaries and relationships, and encouragement to approach each topic with kindness, patience, and understanding.

  • The Art of Understanding
    Feb 10 2026

    Have you ever been in a conversation where you’re already planning your response, only to realize later that you didn’t fully understand what the other person was saying? Often, the issue isn’t disagreement—it’s poor listening. In this episode, we talk about why listening matters and how learning to listen well helps us practice the art of understanding.
